Leasing Consultant

It's a Saturday afternoon in September, move-in weekend is wrapping up, a new resident can't find their package, and three prospects just walked in for tours. That's a normal hour in this role.

The Position

Scion calls this role an Experience Team Member, and the title is accurate. At Redpoint College Station, you're the front line of a student housing community where occupancy targets, lease renewal rates, and resident satisfaction all run through the quality of daily interactions. This isn't a passive desk job. You'll tour prospective residents, handle sales conversations, manage objections, and report back to the management team on what's working and what isn't in the leasing process.

Beyond leasing, the role covers a real mix of operational tasks. Package retrieval and logging, office and amenity upkeep, maintenance request coordination, social media engagement, and after-hours on-call lockout coverage all fall within scope. The responsibilities shift depending on what the property needs that day, which means flexibility isn't optional here. It's the job.

Turn periods deserve a specific mention. Student housing runs on an annual cycle, and Turn (the compressed window when thousands of residents move out and a new wave moves in) is the highest-intensity stretch of the year. Availability during Turn and summer leasing season is a real requirement, not a footnote.

What Scion is Looking for

• A customer-first mindset. Every interaction shapes leasing traffic and renewal decisions.
• Strong verbal and written communication across a genuinely diverse resident population
• Comfort with a schedule that includes evenings, weekends, and on-call rotation
• Reliability. Student housing moves fast and gaps in coverage are felt immediately.
• Eligibility to work in the United States (visa sponsorship is not available)

Prior leasing experience helps, but Scion's student housing model is specific enough that coachability and energy often matter more than a resume full of conventional multifamily experience. The candidates who stand out tend to be the ones who treat a Saturday tour the same way they treat a Tuesday morning one, consistent regardless of traffic volume.

For anyone thinking about where this role leads: Experience Team Members at student housing operators frequently move into assistant manager or leasing manager positions within one to two leasing cycles. The combination of sales, administration, and resident relations you build here translates directly into conventional multifamily, build-to-rent, and fee management roles if you eventually want to move beyond student housing.
